Rodeo season is still going strong, and while
Utah has seen a wide variety of rodeo events
across the state, arenas and rodeo grounds are
still gearing up for a summer filled with bull
riders and steer wrestlers.

Utah has long celebrated its pioneers with a
dedicated state holiday, filled with
activities, pageants and fireworks. Reaching
back to its 1847 roots when pioneers settled in
the Salt Lake Valley, Pioneer Day rivals the
Fourth of July in festivities

With the extreme heat wave and the dry
conditions, Utah officials are
warning residents about the potential fire
hazards. Here is a list of
several fireworks restrictions in cities
throughout the state.

A new Wilderness Society report selected 12 American landscapes as areas that are "too wild to drill" and two Utah locations made the list — Arches National Park and Desolation Canyon. The group says threats from oil and gas development exist nearby.

The Bountiful Handcart Day's Parade once again topped more than 10,000 spectators. Every spot was taken along Main Street and visitors called out the names of friends and relatives they spotted in the lineup.

If you're fed up with the hot weather, maybe
you'll have some sympathy for a Utah man who
tested himself against even more extreme heat
in what is probably the toughest, most brutal
footrace on the planet. He showed that
inspiration can be found in defeat as well as
victory.

As details emerge about Monday's murder-suicide involving a couple that had a history of domestic violence, One of Deborah Vaughn's friends says it's a story that should never have to be told and one she once feared might be told about her own life.
